Just a couple of weeks ago, Ben found himself at The Electric Owl in Vancouver, BC rip-roaring through a solo set that captured everyone in earshot. Vancouver Weekly’s Thomas Creery reviews the show and also interview Ben. Check ‘em out!

I am excited to announce that I will be opening for the Zac Brown Band on July 1 in London, UK! The show is at the intimate O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire and is already sold out. However, if you’re in London, you can catch men earlier in the day at the Canada Day Celebrations, for […]
